Mistweaver Monk Rotation / Priority (PvE) - patch 8.0

For healing as a Monk, we have to take a few things into account, like are we in a dungeon or raid, are we focusing on tank or group, are we on downtime and might just conserve mana, or will there be a spike in damage in the next minute?

In a Dungeon

• Renewing Mist will be use as close to on cooldown as possible.
  • Use Thunder Focus Tea on Renewing Mists to maximize group coverage.
• Vivify will be your main heal.
• To heal a single target taking sustained damage, Soothing Mist and Enveloping Mist are your best tools.
• Essence Font should only be used to get the HoT effect out in order to quickly burst single targets through the double Gust of Mists hits. Cancelling a cast of it when your party has the HoT effect rolling on all of them will allow you to use Mastery-proccing spells faster for burst healing on any target that needs it. However, continuing the channel can be the right call in specific situations, normally when you need group healing while you yourself are moving. It depends on the situation at hand.
• If you’re the only Monk, make sure Mystic Touch is applied to whatever is being damaged.
• If talented:
  • Summon Jade Serpent Statue should always be in position and channeling on someone taking damage.
  • Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane should be used to help stabilize the group during sustained damage.
  
  
  

  In a Raid, you can go two ways

  
  
  Tankysitting is much the same as dungeon healing, with some small differences.
  
  
  
  • Soothing Mist most single target damage. Enveloping Mist when damage starts to pick up. Renewing Mist as much as you can. Fully channel Essence Font during raid-wide damage. Vivify any group damage when Essence Font is on cooldown or fewer people are injured. Thunder Focus Tea usage can be varied. Mystic Touch should be applied to any target taking damage.
   
   
• 
  Kickweaving This build focuses on group healing via Rising Mist, letting smaller group healing fall by the wayside, while also increasing your damage.
  
  
  • Essence Font whenever there’s enough injured targets within range.
  • Rising Sun Kick after every Essence Font.
  • Use Thunder Focus Tea on Rising Sun Kick to chain them together for Rising Mist healing.
  • Tiger Palm and Blackout Kick for filler as a way to regain mana.
  • Renewing Mist can be weaved in between the above, but the charge system gives you more breathing room to delay it.
  Vivify to burn mana and heal some targets while Essence Font is on cooldown.
